There's still time to set-up an eWallet for your student for cashless, stress-less shopping. Friends and family can even contribute funds! Set one up here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/coppercreekelemschool. If you have unspent eWallet funds from a previous fair, please log in to your Scholastic account and select Copper Creek's upcoming fair and authorize that those funds can be applied to our upcoming fair. Funds will not rollover automatically without your authorization. Please note the following forms of payment can be used at our upcoming fair: eWallet, cash and change, Greenlight card, debit/credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Remember to include a little extra money over the advertised price as we are required to collect sales tax. We will no longer be accepting checks as a form of payment.

Please note that the Scholastic registers do not accept American Express cards.

Students at Copper Creek will have all electronic devices turned off and put away in their backpacks while on school grounds. This is including any cell phones, smart watches, ipads, etc. You can find further information regarding our guidelines in our Parent/Student Handbook located on our Copper Creek website.
